His name is Koudai Naraoka and he's using the most underrated Yonex racket in BC the NRZS.^^
Badminton is evolving rapidly.
Take an example, there's this one groundbreaking 14 years old boy in my country whose already making $40-50,000 per year (which is maybe more than average Joe adults here in Japan) from Yonex sponsorship, national team salary, bonuses, magazine column (coaching column with his dad), prize money, supports (of course all his rackets, gears and wears are provided by Yonex). He's only a third year Junior High student but already in the national B team. All his earning goes to his saving under his name according to his dad (whose also his coach and manager). His name is Koudai Naraoka and he's using the most underrated Yonex racket in BC the NRZS.^^

NRZS is definitely a good racket, no doubt. If anyone can't wield this racket don't blame the racket, it's more to your own techniques, abilities and playing style.![]()
currency in USD?
So they will just pick whichever one is reputable and pays them a lot etc. However, I doubt they would pick a racket that I made from noodles even if I paid them a million dollars a day hehe. So the fact they have picked Yonex means that Yonex must make decent rackets. There's no such thing as a "best racket" for anyone. Lots of people here seem to take pride in being expert on racket technology and what is a better racket etc. All good, you've got your opinions, but that's all it is.
There are many players using Duora 7 and Duora 10 in German Open and mostly are the ones that uses Arc 11 before. Interesting.
Most of those players arent big enough to warrant that I think. So, most rackets you see will actually be what they appear to be. Personally I dont think the Duora10 actually plays so different on its different 'sides', and apart from that marketing gimmick it might well be a good racket.Are yonex doing the repaint and easy racquet thing again or are they actually using it?

He got an opportunity to train with Taufik
I'd bet my favorite racket though that LCW isnt using standard fare or even sth close to it.
At around 8:10, Taufik is teaching about the backhand grip with thumb on the bevel, right?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l772qN7jZ80

I see, tks!He taught him thumb positioning differs based on shots, eg. clear, slice, and netshots would be thumb on bevel, but for power shots (i.e drive and smash) thumbs goes down and grip tighter. Taufik said everyone has their own way for backhand and he'll have to find which suits himself best during practice. He noticed there were no thumb positioning and change of grip during very shots therefore he gave his advice (which is actually his secret backhand grip)
I see, tks!
That's quite a change from chou tien chen.Chou Tien Chen drops the VTZF1 and joins the DUO10 bunch.
While Greysia Polii changes from NR900 to NR-ZSPn (new yellow color).
